I used to stand on the corner when i was a child
and i would play my guitar and sing as the people went by
the sidewalks were crowded, but i'd just sing louder
'cause i didn't mind
spending my time spending my rhymes
and singing for nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
a song at a time
for nickels and dimes
i'd brighten their day as they'd go on their way
as they'd brighten mine
a sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that i held in my mind
i knew that some day, in my own special way
i'd repay all their nickels and dimes
I recall the sidewalks each night as i stand on the stage
as i play my guitar and sing for the people who pay
'cause finally i made it to what they all call the big time
but i still remember i still owe some nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
a song at a time
for nickels and dimes
a sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that i held in my mind
so if you remember a child on the corner of time
you'll know that i promised to repay your
nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
a song at a time
for nickels and dimes
a sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that i held in my mind
so if you remember a child on the corner of time
you'll know that i promised to repay your
nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
a song at a time
for nickels and dimes
a sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that i held in my mind
so if you remember a child on the corner of time
you'll know that i promised to repay your
nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
a song at a time
for nickels and dimes
a sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that i held in my mind...
